CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 41: LIFE-AND-DEATH SNIPER

Ah! Blood instantly dyed Gong Yao’en’s clothes red. He screamed miserably, then roared furiously, and his attack on Shi Feiyang became even more fierce. It was evident that Shi Feiyang was poisoned, making it difficult to sustain his inner strength.

Due to Shi Feiyang’s supreme bloodline and the Bright Jade Technique’s True Qi within him, he had to counteract the poison at this very moment.

In fact, it was true. Although Shi Feiyang slashed Gong Yao’en once, his supreme bloodline and Bright Jade Technique’s True Qi needed to resist the poison, making it difficult to gather and form a vortex against the enemy.

However, in the midst of adversity, Shi Feiyang still gritted his teeth and, relying on sheer willpower, engaged in an even fiercer struggle with Gong Yao’en.

Liu Tingting, who stood by watching, was shocked to see that even after being poisoned, Shi Feiyang not only survived but could fight against Gong Yao’en, a master of the Martial Arts world. She thought to herself, "I didn’t expect the Jianghu rumors that Shi Feiyang’s martial arts were extraordinarily powerful and his swordsmanship invincible to be true."

If this Shi Feiyang weren’t poisoned, who among us could be his match?

This young man possesses such exceptional power at such a young age, which is truly astonishing. Given time, he will surely become the number one master in the world. If my Divine Water Palace does not eliminate him now, it will be even more difficult to do so in the future.

By then, how could my Divine Water Palace talk about dominating the Martial Arts world and reigning supreme?

Despite Gong Yao’en’s tidal wave of attacks, Shi Feiyang could temporarily and skillfully neutralize them and find opportunities to counterattack.

The figures of the two moved swiftly among the bamboo shadows, with the flash of blades and the whistling of fists, making Liu Tingting, who was watching, extremely nervous.

Gradually, Gong Yao’en felt exhausted. He didn’t expect Shi Feiyang to unleash such astonishing combat power even after being poisoned.

Meanwhile, Shi Feiyang was searching for the best opportunity to defeat Gong Yao’en; otherwise, he too would be exhausted, left with no place for a proper burial.

Finally, during their exchange of blows, Shi Feiyang found his chance and hit Gong Yao’en’s chest hard with one palm.

Bam! Ah! Gong Yao’en was struck backward several steps, crying out miserably and spitting blood.

Gong Yao’en staggered a few steps before ultimately collapsing to the ground, unable to move.

If this had happened before Shi Feiyang was poisoned, Gong Yao’en would have been dead without a doubt.

However, at this moment, Shi Feiyang was also gasping heavily, powerlessly slumping to the ground.

Liu Tingting, who was watching, was both shocked and impressed by Shi Feiyang, and her hatred for him grew even stronger.

In this critical moment where life and death were at stake, Gong Simeng endured the pain in her heart, tears welling up in her eyes, and made one last plea to Shi Feiyang with a trembling voice.

She begged Shi Feiyang to flee quickly, saying that if he couldn’t escape, she would rather bite her tongue to death than see him implicated because of her and disappointing her efforts to save him.

Liu Tingting stood aside, a cold smile playing at the corner of her mouth. With a sway of her figure, she and her maid used their swords to block Shi Feiyang’s retreat. She coldly said to Gong Simeng, "Little Junior Sister, my mother always treated you like her own daughter and wanted to groom you to become the Palace Master of the Divine Water Palace. But you fell in love with this dog thief Shi Feiyang. Hmph! Later, I’ll bury you alive with him, so you two can be buried together."

Upon hearing this, Gong Simeng was heartbroken, overwhelmed with grief and anger, and collapsed in a daze, being successfully captured by Gong Ci’en.

Shi Feiyang, upon hearing Liu Tingting’s words, thought that the Divine Water Palace couldn’t possibly kill Gong Simeng, and Gong Ci’en wouldn’t kill Gong Simeng either. So, with his slightly recovered power, he performed the Mysterious Lightness Technique of "Deep Concealment of Body and Name" and suddenly escaped from Liu Tingting’s sword circle, maneuvering behind the large trees and employing the superb Lightweight Technique of "After finishing, wipe the clothes and leave" to escape.

Next, Shi Feiyang took the opportunity to jump into a deep pool, splashing waves as he cleansed the black sweat and poison from his body.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tingting and her maid were all raised in rivers, lakes, and seas, adept in swimming.

They also jumped into the water, swimming toward and attacking Shi Feiyang.

The underwater combat became even fiercer.

However, despite being hindered in the water, Shi Feiyang, with his superb lightweight technique and body technique, moved nimbly, dodging Liu Tingting and her maid’s attacks. Shi Feiyang used the resistance of the water to cleverly dissolve the opponent’s offensives while searching for opportunities to retaliate.

Liu Tingting, seeing Shi Feiyang so troublesome even in the water, couldn’t help but feel anger.

She suddenly accelerated, exerting all her power, charging with her sword at Shi Feiyang.

However, as if anticipating her move, Shi Feiyang dodged her attack ahead of time.

In the water, the silhouettes of the two appeared and disappeared like two swimming fish, vying for survival space.

Shi Feiyang knew he couldn’t remain passively evading; he had to find an opportunity to strike back.

Thus, Shi Feiyang took advantage of a mistake during Liu Tingting’s attack, suddenly kicking toward her.

Liu Tingting swiftly dodged aside, and the two engaged in intense combat in the water, fists flying, splashing water everywhere.

However, at that moment, a strong current suddenly surged in, dragging Shi Feiyang, Liu Tingting, and her maid to the riverbed.

Shi Feiyang, using his immense willpower and inner power, struggled to stabilize himself.

Liu Tingting and her maid, caught off guard by the sudden change, appeared flustered.

Shi Feiyang seized the opportunity, forcefully pushing Liu Tingting and her maid out of the current.

He then used the momentum to rush to the water’s surface.

By the time he emerged from the water, he was already far from Liu Tingting and her maid.

Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, savoring the freedom of the air.

He knew that although he had temporarily escaped Liu Tingting’s pursuit, the crisis was far from over. He had to find a safe hiding place to recover his power to face the upcoming challenges.

The people of the Divine Water Palace are not easy to deal with. Although Liu Tingting and her few maids suddenly fell into the rapids because of Shi Feiyang’s push, with their martial art skills and adaptability, they quickly stabilized themselves and escaped the torrent.

In the deep waters, Shi Feiyang, leveraging his excellent aquatic skills, skillfully evaded Liu Tingting and her maid’s pursuit.

Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, submerged to the bottom, and used the underwater currents and obstacles to cleverly shake off his pursuers.

However, Liu Tingting was not one to give up easily. She directed her maids to split up and search for Shi Feiyang’s trail carefully.

Shi Feiyang swam through the water, striving to remain calm, using his wisdom and experience to find the best escape route.

Meanwhile, Gong Simeng, after being captured by Gong Ci’en, was filled with despair and helplessness, yet she remained concerned for Shi Feiyang’s safety, silently praying for his escape from Liu Tingting’s pursuit.

Shi Feiyang swam underwater for a long time and finally found a secluded shore, covered in dense weeds, unlikely to be discovered.

He quickly swam to the shore, using the weeds for cover, and quietly climbed ashore.
